Munro's publications in New York city, made
preparations to have display of fireworks
with lot of skyrocksts roman candles,
crackers, etc He went into the front yard,
and in half an hour his materials had been
exhausted. A large fire-ball had been laid
by to close the display with. The ball was
constructed of cotton wrapped around wood
en- hoops, and the whole dipped in tur-
pentine an tar. Such balls make a brilliant
light and are set aflre and thrown into the air
by person wearing thick gloves Young
Bryan had prepared the ball, and it was
somewhat loosely constructed. He picked it
up and touched a match t. it In a second
the ball was enveloped in flames and the boy
quickly tossed it into the air. Something
kept it from going very high into the air, and
he ran under it to catch it for the purpose Of
tossing it up As the flaming ball Of fire fell
it struck young Bryan on the head and
parted. His head was developed in a sheet
of flame, and in his terrible agony the
little fellow attempted to tear the
burning cotton from the burning
hoops. His agonzing screams brought
a number Of persons with whom he lived into
the yard, and they also attempted to remove
the flaming circle, but the hoops could not be
pulled over his head, and he was thrown
down and his head buried in the sand. In
this way the flames were finally extin-
guished. The boys face was scorchsd and
blistered, his hair was nearly all burned from
his head, his eyes permanently injured, and
he had inhaled the smoke and flames The
child was so badly hurt that his physicians
decided he could not recover, and his mother
was telsgraphed to return from New York
